For storms affecting Jones Beach in February 1972, the net loss of beach 
material over 10 profiles averaged 9.0 cubic yards per foot for the first 
storm and 9.6 cubic yards per foot for the second (Everts, 1973). In 
this Jones Beach case, profiles at either end of the beach, which tend 
to accrete, were omitted from this study, and even then several of the 
profiles showed net accretion. 
6. Pipe profile data obtained at Westhampton Beach indicate the 
importance of obtaining poststorm survey data as rapidly as possible. 
Sand level observations made at the pipes during the storm indicate that 
the sand level was 3 feet lower on the foreshore during the storm than 
it was when surveyed the next day. During the day following the storm, 
the sand level on the foreshore was observed to recover 1 foot in less 
than 2 hours.
